Why are you limiting it to Mark? There are fuller definitions elsewhere, but essentially Jesus is the good news. He came to save mankind.
"ON ACCOUNT OF ME you will stand before governors and kings as WITNESSES to them. And the GOSPEL must first be preached to all nations" (Mark 13:9-10)

The first four books of the New Testament are considered the Gospel of Jesus. This includes Mark.

Scripture is clear that, just as Jesus commissioned His apostles to preach the gospel—the good news—of God's coming Kingdom, so has He commissioned His followers today to continue that mission.
The main collective task Jesus has required of His Church in all ages is to proclaim to all nations that He will return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords to establish the literal Kingdom of God on earth and to explain how we may have a part in that Kingdom (Revelation 11:15; 17:14; 19:16).
Jesus' command to "go therefore and make disciples [students of Christ's teachings] of all the nations, baptizing them ... [and] teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20). The Church described in the book of Acts certainly did so, teaching that we must keep the commandments of God.
It placed top priority on obeying God's Word from the heart.
From these Scriptures we see that the mission Christ has given His Church is twofold. First, it is to preach the gospel throughout the world. Second, it is to make disciples among those who hear and heed when the gospel of the Kingdom of God is preached to them.
The gospel or goodnews has always been about the coming Kingdom of God.

Gospel = "good news" in another language. The good news are that Jesus Christ has come to die to pay God the father for your sins. So, this way you will not go to hell, but have a chance to repent of your sins and start fresh with a clean slate.

Mark 16:15
And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."
1 Cor. 15:1-4
I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.

The word gospel means good news. So your question is? Mark wrote after Paul so your guess and mine would be ???

you are no longer condemned by the Law. (see Exodus & Leviticus.)
a brief summary:
Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.
man cannot be saved by the Law since he is incapable of maintaining the Law. Jesus kept the Law and died anyway, thus covering our sins so that we might be saved through him.

If you plant a barley seed in good soil, over time the barley seed will yield an abundant harvest.
Jesus Christ, liberal Jew, is described as being a great light, a light which is brighter in some ways than Moses and Elijah.
Arise.
Be healed now, in Jesus's mighty name.

The good news is that Jesus died for our sins , so if we accept Him as our personal savior we can go to heaven.
